The custom statusbar can be used as a WPS for the main UI, using .(r)sbs files. It's using the skin engine and knows all tags the WPS also knows.
The default folder for .sbs is the wps folder to reuse images used in the WPS.
As it can be shown in the WPS also, it's useful to move shared parts to the custom statusbar in order to save skin buffer space.
There are a few restrictions/TODOs:
*) Peak meter doesn't redraw nicely(not frequent enough), as very frequent updates would slow the UI down as hell (some targets fight with it in the WPS already: FS#10686)
*) No touchregion support as the statusbar doesn't have any action handling (it won't fail to parse though).
*) Drawing stuff into the default VP is forbidden (loading images in it is not). You *need* to use viewports for the displaying stuff (parsing fails if no viewport is used).
*) Themes that don't use a custom ui viewport can be fixed up using the new %Vi tag to avoid nasty redraw effectts (you must not draw into it as well, it's used to fix up the ui viewport). %Vi describes the viewport that the lists can use without getting in the way of the statusbar.
Otherwise, it behaves like the classic statusbar, it can be configured in the theme settings, and can be turned off in the wps using %wd.
Note to translaters: When translating LANG_STATUSBAR_CUSTOM, please consider using the same translation as for LANG_CHANNEL_CUSTOM if it's compatible. They could be combined later then.

This will allow for pretty themes, for example those with nice glass effects on their backdrops (some might argue they're wasting screen space but it's upto them),
as well as allowing for future background WPS updates in the main UI.
Plugins are not converted yet, they simply use the full screen. Ideally, any plugin that does *not* want the UI viewport, should take care of that itself (i.e. plugins should normally use the UI viewport).

Remove lcd_set_viewport() too, and replace the calls with the appropriate multi-screen api calls as calling lcd_* functions should be avoided in favor of the api.
Bump API version and sort a bit.

Adds a USB HID sample application, a plugin tha allows to send HID commands while connected in non-storage mode.
This also removes the HID stuff in the debug menu. Testing is now easily doable from the plugin
Also general HID updates

After a discussion mixed on mailing list and irc, it was agreed that
more abstraction for plugins is better (so developers don't have to add
a check to HAVE_DISK_STORAGE when writing disk-specific code)

storage_sleep, storage_spin, storage_spindown are only defined if #defiend (HAVE_DISK_STORAGE), not for MMC/ATA/SD
remove already unneeded nand_disk_is_active, nand_soft_reset

* Move strncpy() from core to the pluginlib
* Introduce strlcpy() and use that instead in most places (use memcpy in a few) in core and some plugins
* Drop strncpy() from the codec api as no codec used it
* Bump codec and plugin api versions

It only works for plugins executed via the filebrowser for now. Those
executed from the context menu or a simplelist (such as "Open With...") need additional hacking.

*) make it work with shuffle

* Use events to notify things when the track has changed instead of the nasty has_track_changed()
* Event for when the mp3entry for the next track is avilable (which allows alot more tags to be static which means less redrawing in the WPS)
* virtually guarentee that the mp3entry sturct returned by audio_current/next_track() is going to be valid for the duration of the current track. The only time it wont be now is during the time between the codec finishing the previous track and the next track actually starting (~2s), but this is not an issue as long as it is called again when the TRACK_CHANGED event happens (or just use the pointer that gives)
It is still possible to confuse the WPS with the next tracks id3 info being displayed but this should fix itself up faster than it used to (and be harder to do)

a) lcd_enabled() is now lcd_active(), and is available for HAVE_LCD_SLEEP only targets (e.g. ipod video) too. It was depandent on HAVE_LCD_ENALE only before
b) rename the hook accordingly, and implement the hook for other other targets too (e.g. the clip [the only mono target with lcd_enable/lcd_sleep yet, so the code is still in the lcd driver], ipod, fuze, c200)

Fixes FS#9845 - %we/%wd wasnt working
WPS no longer resets the viewportmanger more than needed (was doing it twice/draw before)
screens can now enable/disable the statusbar easily ignoring the setting instead of needing special handling (fix for the radio screen coming soon)
minor glitch introduced in this commit... the statusbar in the WPS might disappear for a fraction of a second when it is entered, I need to track this down...

struct plugin_api *rb is declared in PLUGIN_HEADER, and pointed to by
__header.api
the loader uses this pointer to initialize rb before calling entry_point
entry_point is no longer passed a pointer to the plugin API
all plugins, and pluginlib functions, are modified to refer to the
global rb
pluginlib functions which only served to copy the API pointer are
removed
